New Patient Special Offer*

You have approximately 14 days to seek medical treatment after an accident in order to be eligible to receive medical benefits from your insurer.

Before you call a lawyer, call a chiropractor. The law only gives you 14 days to seek medical help, but you have four years to contact a lawyer about making an accident injury compensation claim.

A chiropractor can provide a complete evaluation of your injuries, which will be needed to ensure you receive medical compensation. Without a professional diagnosis, an insurance company or the other driver who hit you may claim you were not injured in the crash.

Yes. Many injuries after an accident are not apparent. You may have suffered whiplash, sprains or strains, and musculoskeletal injuries during the crash. These injuries may not be apparent until hours after the accident when your neck and back are stiff or you have difficulty moving about.

Even if the accident was your fault, you could still be eligible for medical benefits that can help you if you were hurt in an accident.

It is best to give our office a call at (718) 222-9700 to verify your specific accident and the support offered over the phone.

You may be surprised to learn that most chiropractors practice differently based on their certifications and studies. We understand that the combination of joint and muscle manipulation, rehabilitation, and therapeutic exercises offers our patients the best recovery.

During your first office visit, you will receive an exam. This includes a review of your new patient paperwork, x-rays and a report of findings. During your report of findings, we will thoroughly review your case, answer any questions you have, and provide our recommended care plan to resolve the root cause of your problem.

Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care:

• Phase 1 Relief Care: If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.
• Phase 2 Corrective & Restorative Care: During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.‍
• Phase 3 Wellness Care: Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
